How to share the clipboard between Windows Server 2008R2 and a guest running Ubuntu 12.04?

Question

I use Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V and a guest running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

How can I share the clipboard between Windows Server 2008R2 and a guest running Ubuntu 12.04?

UPDATE

What protocols do I need to connect these machines? I'd like to press ctrl+c on Ubuntu, then press ctrl+v on Windows Server and copy text this way.

Nowdays I use WinSCP. So I create a file with the text and then copy this file. It is not easy and fast.

Answer 1

I think you mean "clipboard", not buffer. If that's the case, no Hyper-V doesn't provide clipboard integration. You would have to connect to the machine over a protocol that supports the clipboard, like RDP or VNC.

Answer 2

There is no way to "just create a buffer" between two VMs on top of Hyper-V (even when one of the VMs is the management OS, or host.) You can create a network between them that uses a shared buffer.
